This was a great chat with Jess, who I was lucky enough to teach in my first ever year of teaching back at WSU. Jess and I catch up on what she has been doing in the meantime & it sounds like an awesome journey. From Arizona State University to working at Google and all of the lessons along the way - this is a fantastic episode and a must listen for anyone keen on how translational the S&C skillset really is!
